Not sure if there are any degenerate gamblers (like me) on this site, but I thought I would start a thread to discuss betting opportunities for the Open Championship.

Right now, I am waiting for individual match-ups to go up, but there are odds to win out right now...here are my thoughts right now...

Geoff Ogilvy at 30-1 looks like a decent price.

I will FADEEE Sergio Garcia in individual match-ups....he will choke under the pressure of being the favorite...


Will be adding my actual plays as the week goes on....any thoughts from others appreciated

Only thing good about my golfing ability right now is my betting,

I placed McDowell & Jimnez e/way to finish top 5 at Loch Lomond so quite happy with my winnings

I'm going to wait until Thursday before selecting but might have a go with

Anthony Kim
Anders Romero
and 2 'favourites'

I went out and watced Sergio and Greg Norman play today and I would be confident in Norman making the cut against some pretty good odds the way he was hitting it today. Daly spent about 3 hours working on his putting today and Dave Horsey who is playing very well on the second level European tour at the moment would be a good pick as a long outsider. McDowell is also hitting it purely if he keeps on the same plane he had at Loch Lomond last week.

Thanks Wilbur, that is great info.


BTW -- I have taken my Harrington bet off the board due to his status with the wrist injury.....I lose a little juice doing so, but better than backing a injured soldier.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      So no joke, last evening post work nine must have been the craziest side I've ever played: Bogey, double, double, par, birdie, birdie, birdie, double, birdie. Two gimme birdies, one 15 footer and one bonus bomb from prolly 35 feet on no. 9. Full disclosure, it's a super easy course when greens are running at an 8 with easy welcoming pins. Still, a couple of firsts there. Driver freed me up starting the fourth hole. Anyway, driver notes: 1) anti left left hand grip. 2) no structural bind on hands/grip. 3) left shoulder HAS to get up to chin with humerus completely detached from chest and shoulder socket (feel) Big game tomorrow, aiming to break 80.

      day 44 - slow deliberate swings into the net with a focus on weight shift and hand path. I might sneak out to the garage a few times through the day working on this but my hands are steering to blister lol
